Trump previously urged supporters to “blame DeSanctimonious” over FSU’s snub from the College Football Playoff.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is putting aside $1 million of his state’s money for a potential lawsuit over Florida State University (FSU) being excluded from the College Football Playoff tournament.
DeSantis, who is challenging former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, announced that he would be including the money for a lawsuit as part of Florida’s 2024-2025 budget on Tuesday, one day after the ex-president urged his supporters to “blame” the governor for the snub.
“Florida State was treated very badly by the ‘Committee,'” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday. “They become the first Power Five team to be left out of the College Football Playoffs. Really bad lobbying effort…Let’s blame DeSanctimonious!!!”
DeSantis did not mention Trump’s remarks but said during a press conference announcing his budget that the snub was a “really, really poor decision,” while vowing to fund any related legal action.
